AI Engineer New York 2026

AI Engineer New York 2026 brings together more than 1,000 in-person engineers and leaders, plus over 150,000 remote livestream attendees, for three days of talks, workshops, and networking centered on applied AI in financial services. Day one features hands-on technical workshops and a welcome reception, while days two and three offer full-day keynotes, breakout sessions, and an expo floor showcasing companies building AI infrastructure such as model serving, compliance tooling, and agent frameworks. The mainstage track spotlights the growing role of AI across banking, hedge funds, insurance, and asset management, with a strict anti-vendor-pitch policy for keynote speakers.

The event targets technical leaders and builders already deploying AI in production, not those in early discovery mode. Attendees skew heavily toward decision-makers and senior technologists, with CTOs, CEOs, founders, and senior engineers making up the majority of the audience, drawn from firms of all sizes. Anyone building, scaling, or investing in AI systems for financial services, or wanting direct access to peers from firms like Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, and Fidelity, will find the sessions, expo floor, and facilitated roundtable discussions worth attending.
